I went in town at 2.12. took some work to Mrs Conklin to do for me went to the depot to see the folks start come back down for things needed and home at 4.30. Mr Merrifield finished the painting and I paid what I still owed making 33.00 for the work.

The up stairs was all papered before noon and I got the floor to the south room cleaned. Mary and Jennie were here most of the afternoon I had a letter from Liv Duncan saying she would come out to stay with Will while I was away bringing Gertrude with her.
